I wonder why, unless it was just to cut a very miniscule paint ap out of the mix? Clear'd be the (oh so very slightly) simpler in production... Unless perhaps the paint ap to the cup itself is leaving residue on the figure's hand or some such... It happens from time to time.

I just checked the Entertainment Earth site to see if this wave has arrived yet (I ordered a case as soon as they went on the site). It now shows a ship date of July... I hope they didn't underestimate the demand on these figures as badly as they did the UGH-

Man oh man, Hasbro just cannot get the likeness down on Tatooine Luke, particularly the head. Just look at this series of disasters:

From the left: Looks too old, on crack, on crack, on crack, stoned, doesn't look like Luke.

Yeah, but the first five are basically the same exact headsculpt, are they not? Really the only differences between them are the paint apps.

There's also the first POTF2 Luke, Early Bird Luke, VOTC Luke. . . You could even throw in the POTJ Luke X-Wing, which is a ANH-era headsculpt. . . None of them have captured Hamill's 1976 face particularly well. . .
